Love these Features

Not had my Cayman long although it is my third Porsche and two features I love that are new to my 718.
Manual stick shifting of the PDK is the correct way around. Pull to shift up, push to shift down. It was always the other way previously.
Also, if driving in auto mode and you want a quick down shift to the best lower gear, just a quick prod of the throttle and the car auto downshifts immediately. So simple, so useful.

FWIW, my salesperson explained that pulling for an upshift meant your hand was moving with its momentum. Or to put it another way, the car's acceleration orward was pulling your hand backwards, so pulling that way to upshift made shifting easier.

Whatever. I've started using paddles whenever I'm in manual mode anyway.
